August 01, 1985|by SONIA CSENCSITS, The Morning Call

Among the items Northampton Borough Council will consider during the meeting today are: a loan for the refurbished aerial ladder truck the fire department is purchasing; a discussion of sidewalk variance requested by the Busch Brothers, developers of Spring Meadow subdivision and a review of applications for the code enforcement job.

Council also will consider a written agreement with the Northampton Borough Municipal Authority for an exchange of services between the two.

For the aerial truck, the borough will borrow up to $50,000 from Northeastern Bank. The fire department is in the process of applying for a low interest loan of up to $35,000 from the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency. However, it is not known how much the department will receive.
